Instrumentation for Compressed Air

Measure. Control. Optimize your energy performance.

for Compressed Air

At Atlantic Compressed Air, we offer a complete range of measurement instruments for compressed air systems in partnership with CS Instruments, an international leader in industrial measurement technology.

In a compressed air system, what is not measured cannot be optimized.

Our instrumentation solutions allow you to accurately monitor:

Dew point
Air flow
Leaks
Pressure

Result: less waste, greater efficiency, and decisions based on real data.

Why measure your compressed air system?

Compressed air can represent up to 10% of a plant’s energy costs.

Without instrumentation:

Impossible to detect invisible losses
Difficult to justify compressor replacement
Risk of oversizing
Lack of data for energy efficiency projects

With the right instruments, you transform your network into a measurable and optimizable system.

Dew Point Measurement

Monitor the quality of your compressed air

Dew point sensors allow you to control moisture levels in your compressed air network.

Why it is critical:

Prevent pipe corrosion
Protect sensitive equipment
Ensure ISO 8573 compliance
Verify dryer performance

CS Instruments sensors provide stable measurement down to -80 °C Td with continuous monitoring.

Ideal for:

Food industry
Pharmaceutical
Electronics
Critical industrial processes

Compressed Air Flow Measurement

Truly understand your consumption

Thermal mass flow meters measure:

Instantaneous flow
Mass flow
Total consumption
Temperature

Main applications:

Energy audits
Department-level analysis
Detection of overconsumption
Validation of modernization projects

A flow meter is the number one tool for identifying compressed air waste.

Compressed Air Leak Detection

Eliminate invisible losses

Leaks can represent 20 to 40% of total compressed air production.

Ultrasonic leak detectors allow:

Fast leak location
Loss quantification
Energy cost estimation
Repair prioritization

Fewer leaks mean:

Fewer compressor operating hours
Less wear
Lower electricity consumption

The return on investment of a leak detection campaign is often less than 12 months.

Pressure Measurement

Stabilize and secure your network

Pressure is a critical parameter in any compressed air system.

Poorly controlled pressure leads to:

Energy overconsumption
Production instability
Premature equipment wear

Pressure sensors allow:

Continuous monitoring
Pressure drop analysis
Compressor setting optimization
Improved network stability

Each additional bar can increase energy consumption by 6 to 8%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why install instrumentation on my existing network?
Because optimization starts with measurement. Data allows you to precisely target profitable improvements.

Is leak detection really profitable?
Yes. In most cases, the savings generated cover the investment within a few months.

Can I use this data for incentives?
Yes. Measured data is often required to support an energy efficiency application.
